markdadof2 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I was up late last night just looking around the tank with a flashlight. I happened to catch an ugly looking crab - I observed him breaking off pieces of Monti Cap and eating them. I went on the attack - skewered the little guy, but I'm not sure what kind of crab it is - any thoughts? Kind of looks like an ugly emerald crab but with smaller more powerful claws. I will try and get a picture of him as I saved him. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowman Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Probably a teddy bear crab. Evil little buggers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePremiumAquarium Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I second Bob's guess though it wouldn't supprise me to find that it was some unfriendly rock crab variety. Not all have been bad in my experience but clearly you had a nasty little bugger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLaForce Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Yep teddy bear crab. I just found on in my tank by the way of a painful pinch! Going to the LFS tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
